Thought this would be #1!

This should be top 3! Especially if they ask for money or makes you hate other, or look down upon non-believers or the "wrong" believes even if within same religion.

Haha yeah those scammers. Anyone , I have a huge cone shaped business opportunity for you. Just pay me 100,000 pounds for your first shipment of my amazing new product and then sell it to your friends and family. Make sure to apply the tithe paid to me on all your sales

Diamonds aren't rare. The De Beers corporation has a monopoly on the diamond industry. They control the mining, certification, marketing, market prices, everything. There are at least a dozen other gems more rare and valuable than diamonds. The information is easy to find.

For sure. Sometimes it feels good to drink some smoothie, but if you can, make it yourself, The premade ones are full of sugar. (or corn-syyrup in USA).

Sounds dumb, but I have contacted manufacturers of my most used products demanding they use either #1or 2 packaging. If they are gonna use it, at LEAST use something you don't have to discard. Got a couple positive feedbacks and vows to change, and they did, eventually.

And, in septic systems, these "flushable" wipes will just float and accumulate on the surface of the wastewater inside the tank, which prevents the thriving of necessary bacteria that are required for decomposition.

And the cheep stuff was better than the expensive stuff. Nivea won in an smal trial here in Sweden. 8800eaec00...867c81.jpg

And how they target low-income neighborhoods. They are predatory at best. I took out a loan through a furniture company that offered payments for their furniture. I didn’t realize they financed through a payday loan company. I paid that sucker off as soon as I could! They required you to come in to make your payment and wouldn’t send any reminders of upcoming payments. They made it as difficult as possible to actually make a payment.

There are actually agencies that help people get out of timeshares.

If it works so well I should be able to pay for it with some water I have soaked some money in. Still would have the 'essence' of $$, no?

This one falls into the "religion" category for me in that if you want to believe it and it brings you comfort and strength to get through life then go for it. But, don't use it as a replacement for actual medicine, or basing all your relationships on whether your signs are compatible or not, things like that.

One of the biggest money making businesses currently.

When they invent a pill that aligns my vertebra, I'll stop going to my Chiropractor. There are patient deaths/injuries across every medical discipline. I'm sure that there are bad ones out there (as in any med field), but there are good ones as well.

While I do think some chiropractic work can be beneficial it can definitely cause more problems than solve. My Aunt had a stroke after getting her neck adjusted.

My friend goes to one for his back problems and it has done wonders for him. That’s all it’s for.

I never let my Chiropractor adjust my neck because I learned about that when I worked in Radiology. Somebody was there for an MRI because of a Chiropractor visit and I have always hated the sound of when anybody pops their neck. My son had a friend in middle school that did it here one day and I told him to please stop. I told his mother when she picked him up and she thanked me because she was getting ready for neck surgery herself.

Every medical field has its dangers. My chiro just gently puts my head at the angle he wants, then he simply holds it and tells me to turn just a little more, to exert pressure. Nothing jarring or sudden. Still effective.

It's only a thing because of a religious exemption. It's based on the healing hands faith

"Real doctors" are the second leading cause of death in the US. My chiropractor has not killed anyone.

It can become an addiction. Had a GF who got into it. was OK at first but it got to the point where if you weren't sleeping or at work they why weren't you at the gym?

Fvcking corporate buzzwords strike again. Trades have never "pivoted" in any direction, business owners change their minds about $h!t. And if you're beating your customers, you're sure as hell not helping anyone in any way. Not to mention the simple fact that no company has helped people, companies exist only so they can profit.

Tea Tree Oil though have scientifically shown to be antibacterial and anti fungal. Maybe not at 100% the same as made made stuff, but not just totally made up. https://youtu.be/jQXuBL2yfJ4?t=359

My siblings work at casinos. My sister is head of table games, working her way up after starting as a blackjack dealer. Even she can’t win when she goes to gamble at other casinos.

Some folks need the furniture, appliances, etc and can not qualify for a store card. The prices charged are WAY outside reasonable, but they have no other choice until they can build credit up/back. See the need, hate it, but they DO serve a purpose.

Someone's about to intake some Peruvian marching powder.

They do say they are on a closed course.

Also iphones and apple in general should be on this list. For how expensive they are they are super fragile and not as advanced as they claim.

Some are real superfoods. The green powdered algae like Spirilina is 99% protein and is easily absorbed. When it was first discovered, it was touted as being the new protein that was going to end famines and feed the world. Then the health food corporations got control of it and priced it higher than gold. By contract beef is only 22-25% protein. Mostly fat and is hard to digest.

Is it though? I'm genuinely asking. Do you really go into [insert name of takeaway/fast food place] and believe that Joe behind the counter is a food artist making you a sexy hamburger for the handful of shillings he makes every day? I don't. I want my food to look tasty, but I don't expect it to be backlit with Def Leopard playing in the background when it's handed to me 🤭

Don't think that it's not still.

What's wrong with magic? This is entertainment that is not hurting anyone.

huh?

We're told to separate our recyclables, then the city puts all these massive wheelie bins in front of everyone's houses, and everything gets tipped into one giant truck once a week. If anything in my city actually makes it to recycling, I'd be shocked.
